All darkness vanished when I saw the lamp within my heart,
A silent flame that needed neither oil nor spark.
The shadows that I’d chased for years, the ghosts of doubt and fear,
Dissolved like mist at morning light when once the path grew clear.
I sought the sun in distant skies, I begged the stars for grace,
Not knowing all the galaxy was folded in this space.
The heavy walls of ego fell, the heavy doors swung wide,
Revealing that the architect was dwelling deep inside.
No longer do I stumble through the corridors of night,
Or look to flickering candles for a borrowed sense of light.
For when the soul ignites itself, the world begins to glow—
And everything I sought to find is all I’ve come to know.
Reflection
The imagery of a "lamp within" suggests that true clarity doesn't come from changing our external circumstances, but from shifting our internal perspective. It’s the moment where "seeking" ends and "being" begins.
